Mix it, roll it, bake it, put all your love in it - Cake... such a simple thing that brings so much happiness and appreciation to others. Here I'll post you my favourite recipes, baking tips, and photos of my cakes for you all to drool over. I hope that you will be inspired to try some of my recipes yourself.

Christmas Chocolate Bark

You've seen it, in the likes of Hotel Chocolat and in the "posh section" of your local Supermarket. But why buy it, when you can make your own Chocolate Bark all by yourself and put whatever you blimmin' like on it. Bag it up in little treat bags with ribbon and give it out to your friends and family as gifts. It's so easy and you can make it in minutes.

First, line a large baking sheet with foil. Have all your toppings chopped and ready.

Melt the dark/milk chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water, pour onto the baking sheet and spread it out. Next melt the white chocolate and pour it over the dark chocolate. If you want distinct layers, make sure the dark chocolate has set first. Alternatively, you can swirl the white into the dark chocolate for a rippled effect.

Sprinkle over the toppings then leave the chocolate to set completely. You can put it in the fridge to set faster but this will affect the shine of the chocolate. When set, peel off the foil, break into shards or cut into squares.

A little bit about me...

I'm Rosie. Mother, Wife... Cake Baking addict. I live in sunny England in a funny place called Glossop. I'm an alien up North with my Southern roots, so I make friends by luring them to my house with cake. My dream is to one day run my own beautifully English tea room.
